Background: 4240 Architecture brings under two roofs a gifted team of architects, planners, and interior
designers.  A new iteration of a firm formed in the 1970s, 4240 designs buildings, community frameworks, 
and spaces ranging from entire neighborhoods and resorts to the most private domestic interiors. Established
in 2003, the firm’s offices in Chicago (located at 42˚ latitude) and Denver (located at 40˚ latitude) comprise 
“4240.”  In just three years, the firm has grown into an 80-person team of professionals who are equally fluent 
in designing for urban settings, and high-mountain properties -- and just about everything in between.
